### 5/5 — Pay attention to the pro version !

*2024-04-30, version 5.0.1*

Hello. I am using the pro version. After updating to iPadOS 17, it no longer works and crashes when entering the password and cannot be used! I have many videos in it. But now I see that the pro version has been completely removed from the app store and is no longer available! Please give an update for the pro version to be compatible with ios 17

### 4/5 — Great for Hdr (Dolby Vision HDR 10) But can’t remove subtitles

*2024-04-01*

It plays Dolby vision profile 5 files! And there is an interface menus feature that is unlikely to be used but prominent, the 3d settings. And if you switch apps and come back you’ll have to press ‘Done’ to escape and reselect the video otherwise audio continues but no video. Also, what is “Visualization” setting?

### 5/5 — Amazing Dolby Vision and HDR10 Video Player!!! Well Done.

*2024-01-13*

Amazing Dolby Vision and HDR10 Video Player!!! Well Done. Please add more video options.

### 1/5 — Garbage. You get like, 5 rows of the same videos

*2023-11-15, version 5.0.1*

Why?

### 5/5 — Great for old devices

*2023-05-29, version 5.0.1*

I have an iPad air first generation and it really struggles to play x265 1080p movies in players like vlc. I tried tons of other apps but non worked. However, this one is like magic and plays all the videos smoothly. I can’t thank the developers enough. 5 starssss

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2023-03-21, version 5.0.1*

Able to play Dolby Vision videos, great. I think this is the only free app can do it. 

BUT cannot select subtitles

### 5/5 — Well done!

*2022-09-14, version 5.0.1*

Only app that solved Dolby Vision 
If only the pricey n player plus could do this

### 1/5 — Payed for app and interrupted by ads

*2022-04-13, version 5.0.1*

You would think a payed app would be ad free, but it’s not. Be prepared to be interrupted every 5 minutes by unskippable ads.

### 4/5 — Review

*2021-12-28, version 4.3*

Ok everything works well but some of the things are still missing!! Like the peak brightness from iphone 12 pro max are high and it doesnot get that much high i felt!! If you can work and update it out it would be great!!

### 5/5 — 4k video Smoothly run by it 10 /10

Amazing 4k videos player 10/10
